Question

Adding a conditional variable - is it possible in version 7.1?

Have a situation where I need to add a variable to a book that contains different conditional text for two products (Product A and Product B ).

This will be for Product C, and should be added everywhere Product A exists, and be conditional for Product C only. How can I make the variable conditional for Product C? I would like to do it in one pass, if possible.

Thanks!

    Thank you for your suggestion. The scope of this particular project will end up being much larger than what we originally thought, but I'm sure I will use your suggestions in other projects.

    FM can search for variables or conditions.

    You can apply conditions to found items by first using the Copy
    Special function to pick up a conditional setting from somewhere in
    your document and use the "By Pasting" option in the Find & Change to
    automatically apply this conditional when a certain item is found.

    If you simply copy a variable with a condition already applied and
    then use the "By Pasting" option, then both the variable and condition
    will be inserted.

    If you want to add a new variable beside an existing one, look for the
    old one and replace with the old one + new one.
